Light Riesling Federspiel from the Forstreiter estate at Hollenburg; lime-blossom and chalk-mineral freshness for easy enjoyment.

What it pairs with

  • Fried fish with lemon
    Light body and bright acidity suit fried fish dishes.
  • Spring rolls
    The wine's crisp freshness and light body suit light Asian-inspired snacks.
  • Pickled vegetables
    Acidity and mineral freshness echo the vinegar tang of pickled vegetables.

History

The Federspiel Riesling is Forstreiter's everyday white; the estate's consistent weekday opening makes it one of the most accessible sources of Wachau Riesling in the region.
